Reduced, fused blotches down the sides. The gateway hognose morph. Plays dead — full belly-up, tongue out, Oscar-worthy — if you move too fast.

★ 4.9 (412 reviews)
Fourteen years, one rack room, and an unreasonable number of clown combos. Every animal ships with a feed log going back to its first meal, and we do not sell an animal that has not eaten five times in a row.
Feeding record
Taking frozen/thawed pinky every 5 days. No refusals on record.
Keeping a Western Hognose
A small, upturned-nose shovel of a snake with the theatrical range of a silent film actor. Mock-strikes with a closed mouth, hisses like a punctured tire, then flips belly-up and plays dead with its tongue out. All bluff, no follow-through.
